A small step
Durham County Council took a small first step along the road to a meaningful consultation with local people over the academy site. The consultation will now run until July 17th, giving people a further two weeks to respond.
I welcome this small step, but no-one should get too carried away. In Iran they extended the voting by six hours. Who trusts the result that produced?
The step people really need to see is the county holding a public meeting in which they debate the pros and cons of each site. Following that, with the necessary information in their hands, let the people have their say.
